Chapter 114: Sealing and Imprisonment |
Hearing this, the Azure Dragon Elder still held his hand in mid-air, continuing to stare at Li Musheng, the mocking smile on his face growing even stronger.
"Don't be impulsive!"
In the distance, Bu Chengyang's expression changed as he urgently shouted loudly toward Li Musheng.
Li Musheng's face remained calm, his gaze looking down upon the white-haired old man before him.
He said nothing at all, merely slowly opening his palm.
In an instant, the entire underground seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand. The surrounding air suddenly stagnated.
In the distance, Bu Chengyang's eyes suddenly changed dramatically. At this moment, he discovered in shock that he could no longer sense any heaven and earth True Qi within the surrounding heaven and earth.
It was as if just in that instant moment, all the heaven and earth True Qi within several hundred zhang had been completely extracted.
The entire underground space he was in had instantly become a martial Dao forbidden domain that severed heaven and sealed earth.
"This..."
Bu Chengyang's gaze looked at that young figure ahead. For a moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
At the same time, the Azure Dragon Elder before Li Musheng who had extended his hand to demand the Dragon Pearl had the mocking smile on his face suddenly freeze.
His eyeballs that had originally been motionless suddenly began rotating madly at an extremely alarming speed.
Then, on that aged face that was countless times paler than a dead person, a trace of terror slowly appeared.
"I don't want the Dragon Pearl anymore, don't... kill me!"
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Elder actually changed from his previous intermittent speech pattern and suddenly spoke rapidly in fear.
However, Li Musheng's expression remained blank as he said, "You old man are truly laughable. Even if you admit defeat now, it's already too late."
Hearing this, the Azure Dragon Elder's aged face froze. Very quickly, a fierce expression appeared again as he said at an extremely fast pace, "If you want to kill me... then I'll make everyone here be buried with me!"
As his words fell, on the Azure Dragon Elder's pale and wrinkled skin, dragon scales glowing with cyan light suddenly grew.
The dense dragon scales overlapping like metal covered his entire body in just the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a terrifying aura like a primordial beast suddenly rose from within his body like a surging storm and tsunami.
From his hoarse and obscure throat came a dragon's roar, as if wanting to trigger some power deep underground that resonated with him from afar.
However, at this moment the entire underground space was terrifyingly quiet.
Whether it was the previous trembling of the entire ground, the shadow extending for several li that seemed about to surface from beneath the water, or the sounds of countless turning mechanism gears, all had completely lost any sound at this moment.
Seeing this, the Azure Dragon Elder whose entire body had transformed into a dragon-bodied humanoid form with scales froze completely. On that face fierce as a cyan-faced evil spirit seemed to be somewhat unable to believe.
He immediately let out another long roaring dragon cry.
But even so, the surroundings remained quiet. Everything was as usual. Nothing happened.
"Im...possible, the Azure Dragon True Qi... how could it have no response!"
The Azure Dragon Elder was wreathed in cyan light. From his mouth grew terrifying teeth sharp as swords. His breath was long like a whip striking heavily through the air, whipping the air until it twisted and roared.
But this didn't affect his current shock in the slightest.
He had wanted to trigger the massive mechanisms lurking underground to bury everyone here, but the result was not causing even half a stir.
However, he had clearly already faintly triggered the underground mechanisms earlier!
Just at this moment, Li Musheng raised his head to glance at him.
In an instant, the Azure Dragon Elder suddenly roared in terror. The cyan scales on his body harder than iron and stone suddenly became as scalding as molten lava.
His entire person had somehow already been wrapped in a True Yang blazing flame. The cyan dragon scales melted together, transforming into cyan high-temperature liquid flowing down along his flesh and bones.
The unbearable burning pain made the Azure Dragon Elder want to resist, but although the martial True Qi within his body remained vast and astonishing, and the powerful martial Dao aura on his body remained condensed without dispersing, he was pressed down by a qi mechanism as heavy as a mountain. His entire person was forcibly pinned in place, unable to move even half a finger!
"No..."
The Azure Dragon Elder struggled to make a sound, roaring in pain.
But he simply couldn't stop it. After the cyan dragon scales covering his body surface melted, his skin and flesh also followed suit, melting like a candle.
Hair, eyes, nose, limbs and torso...
The Azure Dragon Elder powerlessly sensed his entire body disappearing, accompanied by endless burning pain, but he could do nothing.
Finally, his entire person completely transformed into a pool of boiling blood water, merging into the cold underground river water below. In an instant it was diluted until invisible, ultimately leaving nothing behind.
Bu Chengyang in the distance who witnessed this scene stood suspended above the water surface, silent and absent-minded.
The Azure Dragon Elder who possessed terrifyingly powerful martial Dao cultivation died so frustratedly in Li Musheng's hands without even being able to display the Azure Dragon Profound Darkness Divine Technique.
This was completely unexpected to him. Moreover, Li Musheng's terrifying method of severing heaven and sealing earth was truly something he had never heard of or seen before.
The other party could even sever the connection between the Azure Dragon Elder and the Azure Dragon True Qi sealed in the depths underground.
However, he was still grateful the other party could accomplish all this.
Otherwise, if the Azure Dragon Elder had really used the Azure Dragon True Qi to trigger the massive mechanisms in the depths underground, the consequences would have been simply unimaginable.
At the same time, after the Azure Dragon Elder died, Li Musheng didn't even glance at him, as if dealing with the other party was just an insignificant trivial matter.
Then, the surrounding heaven and earth quietly returned to normal, and his gaze fell on the stone bead in his hand.
After thinking, Li Musheng's figure suddenly disappeared from its original position. The next moment, he arrived beside Bu Chengyang in an instant.
Bu Chengyang, who had originally still been immersed in shock at Li Musheng's actions and hadn't yet recovered, suddenly jerked his head up sharply.
For a moment, his entire body subconsciously erupted with domineering and sharp sword intent reaching the heavens. The long sword wrapped in cloth straps on his back also began violently trembling at this moment.
The originally completely silent underground suddenly resounded with deafening ringing sword cries. In the air there seemed to be hundreds or thousands of sword qi all faintly ready to strike, their sharp and solemn killing intent all uniformly pointing toward Li Musheng who had arrived.
Seeing this scene, Li Musheng didn't care at all and merely waved his hand, saying, "Don't be nervous. If something goes wrong and you follow in that old man's footsteps just now, that wouldn't be good."
Hearing this, Bu Chengyang observed Li Musheng guardedly for a while.
Seeing that he had no killing intent and wasn't releasing even half a trace of martial True Qi, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, he didn't completely abandon his vigilance.
Li Musheng's martial Dao cultivation was unfathomably deep, and his attacks were like an antelope hanging by its horns, leaving no trace. Even though he himself was a Heaven-Human expert skilled in killing sword Dao, aside from seizing the opportunity to escape at the first moment before the other party showed signs of attacking, he had no other chance of survival whatsoever.
